A Needle Through "A Cent.

We know that one body is harder than
another when it is capable of scratching
the latter. \ piece of glass scratches
marble, bit of diamond scratches glass;
so glass is harder than marble and the
diamond is harder than glass. The steel
blade of knife scratches copper; so
steel is harder than copper. and it is not
impossible to lTerce a copper coin with a
needle that is much harder than it. The
problem at first sight appears insoluble,
because II we endeavor to drive a needle
into cent Just as we would drive nail
INTO a board, we never fail to break the
needle at every attempt. since steel al
though very hard. is very brittle. But
If, through some artitice. we succeed in
holding the needle straight and rigid
over the sent, we can drive it into the
copper with hammer. To do this it is
only necessary to introduce the needle
into cork of the same length. when. be-
ing held in a true sheath it will be I'M
able to bend in any direction and can be
given hard blow in the direction of its
axis without being broken
Under such circumstances place the
needle and its cork over a cent laid upon
bolt nut or even upon a table that YOU
do not fear to injure, and then take a
somewhat heavy locksmiths hammer
and strike the cork hard blow. If the
blow straight and very hard one the
needle will pass through the cent, and it
will be impossible to remove it, The ex-
pertinent may be tried with any other
piece of money. We should add that
success may not attend the first blow,
and it will he necessary to make several
trials; but the fact is real, and we have
on hand a cent thus traversed by a slen-
der needle.-Scientiic American

SPRING PARK STUD.

We have also received from George ID.

includes six stations. that in the variety
of their breeding are phenomenal The
principal stallion, Highlander, is by

Scotland, dam by Creeper, son of the
Peck horse by Vermont Black Hawk, one
of the best of Black Hawk strains. An
other, Kellogg Creeper, is advertised as Il
Morgan. Signal and Stonewall are
lIambletonans, Rival is a coach stallion,
Tom Benton is a Clyde, whilst War Ea-
gle comes in to clean up the field, and
satisfy those who are not pleased with
the other strains. We shall tie to the
Creeper, although we presume the others
are good stations.
We have also received from Hon. Her.

Locomotive Driving Wheels.

The diameter of locomotive driving
wheels has been greatly increased to pro-
duce augmented speed. The largest yet
noted are for mammoth engine on one
of the French roads. This locomotive has
six coupled wheels eight and a quarter
feet in diameter, and the tender and cars
are to have wheels of the same dimen-
sions, the calculation being that with
such a train speed of about seventy
eight miles an hour can be obtained. The
cars will be swung inside and between
several pairs of wheels Frank Leslie's.

PROSPECTUS.


The increasing prosperity of the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER Is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree of
the American road horse. As Such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department j. worth many times its
subscription price valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount OF original matter
coming in Tor this department; and W" cN.
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors
es hitherto unknown: old Pilot, II. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, Z. :. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed e. $ of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-cmincntly the kind of informa-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper Tor the history at the horse. In
all such information there il included much
local and general history Indeed, the trac-
ing OF some of these pcdigrecs seems very
similar to IA romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty of
the country through which he travels.

THE DAM OF ETHAN ALLEN.

In looking over the last sumning-up of
the testimony on the dam of Ethan Allen
we notice one or two errors. First. the
Johnson) thinks that this mare might
have been the gray tilly colt foaled the
property of Andrew Bevins," etc. 1t
was not Mr.. johnson that thought this,
for he did not know anything about this
colt, but Benager Alderman. Mr.. Ack-
erman thought that the colt foaled Mr..
Andrew Bevins' from the bay mare he
got in Vermont. and the grey mare he re-
membered Rufus Rising having about
1880, might be the same. and he remem-
bered them both well.
This is an immaterial error of Il name.
as one witness is as good as another. but
later down we say 1.-The John Glazier
mare was the dam of Ethan Allen" We
are satisfied by careful review of the
testimony that this statement is not war
ranted.
We believe that the testimony does
prove that the gray mare bought by John
Glazer when three years old previous to
his marriage in 1872, at least four years
old, probably five or six. in 1926. and
which was probably the gray tilly foaled
the property of Andrew Bevins in 1870
or ~, from the bay mare that he traded
for in Vermont. passed into the hands of
Rufus Rising rs early as 1880. was hipped
by him in snow drift. afterwards sold
to Geo. johnson. from him to Caleb Bal
com and by him to W. II. Balloon, years
of transfer not certainly proved. 1t is
also certain that W. II. Balloon kept this
mare long enough to raise four colts from
her, and then. in the fall he thinks. of
ISL, gave her away to a Mr.. Ira Wallace
of, or near, the town of Hague.
This is all that is certain about this
mare. Mr.. Thomson or somebody ought
to be able to prove by written cOntempor-
aneous evidence the year that w. II.
Balloon got her. There must be record
of the year he bought his farm. As it
is, there is no proof that this mare was
the dam of Ethan Allen. There is proof
that Warner Cook owned the dam of
Ethan as early as fall of 1899, and that
previously to this Rufus Rising owned
her. The evidence is contradictory as TO
whether the W. II. Balloon mare was the
dam of Ethan Allen or not. There is.
indeed, nothing to show this except the
testimony of Mr.. Cushman. This was
direct and pointed, but almost all the
other evidence is against it. We believe
that Mr.. Cushman is mistaken.

THOUGHT.

This most elegant son of Daniel Lam
bert never looked so finely as today. \
number of excellent mares have already
been bred to him this season. His five
year-old daughter. Maid of the Mist. that
sold at the Kellogg sale for $500, was
bought by a gentleman from Philadel-
phia to be trained this summer. and he re-
ported 5000 refused for her before leav-
ing New York.
His stable companion, Rocky Noun
tain, by Motion. is also attracting much
attention. His services are offered at the
very low price of SO to warrant. He
shows himself to be a trotter: has phe-
nomenally broad chest and is a colt of
great strength and substance.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1887-05-06

he never sold the mare as being in foa bv
Ensign. We have talked with Mr.. Nee
ley on the subject before and since Capt.
tola became fast trotter and he has al
ways maintained the same positive posi-
ton in regard to this question. There
fore, not until we find some other man
owned and bred the dam of Capitola i'm
1879 instead of Mr.. Neeley; or that Mr..
Medley has told an absolute falsehood
about this mare, can we do otherwise
than take this version of the breeding.
1t is not for us to doubt the word of a
breeder until he is proven to be a falsi-
fer. Indeed we have never before heard
any other man but Mr.. Medley named as
the breeder of Captola. No man can be
more ready and willing to aid in bring
ing correct pedigrees to light, than we
and if there is man on the face of this
earth who is mean enough to attempt to
cheat Il sire out of his true offspring. we
would gladly help to uncover HIM and
show him up the breeding public.-ED. I

An interesting revival of Mormonism
is going on at Kirkland, o., the place
where this curious faith was first pro-
mulgated. The old temple is undergoing
repairs, and a new community of Latter
Day saints is growing up about it. They
do not believe in or practice polygamy,
and SO long as they do not break the
laws of Ohio nobody objects To them. In
the business of special revelations. how
ever, they are up to their old leaders.
Elder Kelley has one every few days in
regard to the restoration of the temple,
which is to he according to the original
design. But it is little curious ,hat for
details he consults the old residents of the
neighborhood who remember Just how
the building looked when it was first
tinished.-Frank Leslie's.
